that living close to nature can have a positive impact on your health and well-being dubai obviously got the memo about this for they started working on a project called the jamira garden city and just wow way to pull one out of the bag dubai the 14 million square meter development consisted of 12 districts that would eventually become home to a quarter of a million people all areas will be linked to each other and dubai by a canal public transport light rail and walkways it would also be built off the coastline and by making use of existing landmass there's something truly special about this garden city it is very green it makes use of renewable energy's 90 wastewater reuse 60 building waste recycling and 40 improvement in water efficiency basically this new garden city would become

museum of the future as we all know dubai loves to push the boundaries if someone says something can't be done they'll give it a go and prove everyone wrong dubai's museum of the future is pretty much proof of this it's thought to be one of the most challenging construction projects that anyone has ever attempted and that's no exaggeration it consists of 2 400 intersecting steel pieces all of which needed to be produced to exacting measurements with the help of software the hoop design was as futuristic as a building gets but the results are incredible once it's entirely finished which is expected in late 2020 this museum of the future will be one of the most incredibly advanced pieces of architecture and green too it would have gray water recycling regenerative drive lifts and power from photovoltaic solar arrays off-site visitors to the museum could also charge their electric vehicles but parking spaces would be limited to encourage public transport use even the museum offerings will be something extraordinary typical museums capture the past but this one looks to the future everything from global warming and ecosystems to outer space and healthcare will feature in this museum number 13. mall of the world malls are pretty big places to visit they incorporate several stores parking and sometimes even hotels but if there's one thing for sure none are gonna be as big as the mall of the world in dubai while there are no estimated time frames for when this mall is likely to be finished it's supposed to be the largest shopping center in the world it would span over 48 million square feet and would be located in the muhammad bin rashid city in the united arab emirates the original plan showed 8 million square feet of shopping space a theme park with a dome for use in winter theaters a golf course a wellness district 33 roads tourist areas and around 20 000 hotel rooms the goal would be to have it receive about 180 million visitors every year something of that size takes time so you won't be able to visit the mall just yet the first mention of it was in 2012 and updates stopped in 2016. according to announcements it would be built in two phases at the cost of about 21 billion dollars number 12 dubai's blue waters island when you run out of building space in your country what do you do you make a new island of course and lo and behold that is exactly what dubai did blue waters island is a man-made island accessible by road pedestrian bridge and water transport the 1600 foot artificial island near the dubai marina is anything but ordinary too it's a resort island of mammoth proportions that will surely shoot to the top of any tourist's travel list there are over 130 shops shopping centers fine dining restaurants cafes a fitness center and a health spa it even became home to gordon ramsay's hell's kitchen but if you fall in love with blue waters island while you're visiting then why not stay alongside hotel accommodation the island also has 698 apartments 4 penthouses and 17 townhouses you can then make regular trips to the mainland with no problem at all as there are 2 000 parking bays to make use of too for leisure or work blue waters island off the jumeirah beach residence coastline is an astounding attraction who would have thought you could build more land number 11 dubai harbor to the right of dubai marina and palm jumeirah sits a new addition to dubai that you may not have noticed before because after all there's always so much going on in dubai that if you blink you miss a skyscraper being built the dubai harbor which is going to be ready to explore by october of this year is proof of just how creative the people of dubai are when plans for the harbor were first unveiled it was going to cater to the largest yachting community in the middle east how you ask well by having a whopping 1 100 marina berths four yachts the harbor will be positioned on the water and beach in front of al cefu and will be open just in time for the expo 2020. already designers and builders are boasting about the incredible features this harbor will have it will have the most advanced cruise terminal and it will be the biggest marina in the region if you have a yacht up to 160 meters it will fit in this harbor too not only are boats going to be taken care of here but the crew as well there will be a crew facility with a restaurant satellite marina office gym and lounge doesn't get fancier than that number 10 aladdin city the buildings in dubai already seem like they're not real they're normally taller than any others in the world more advanced greener cleaner newer the list goes on so to see them take it one step further with a unique style of building altogether well it's not all that surprising aladdin city is thought to have been inspired by aladdin and sinbad the sailor which are 11th century fables the initial plans put together in 2014 showed three golden towers which were spookily similar to large genie lamps these would be connected with air-conditioned bridges shaped like lizards and dragons because why not if that wasn't enough the city would incorporate restaurants housing hotels and several commercial outlets the entire project was expected to cost around half a billion u.s dollars and it looked like it was worth every penny the three towers would be constructed on built up land of about 110 000 square meters and the highest one would have 34 floors they would also have 900 parking spaces and two underground parking blocks if this doesn't prove that dubai doesn't do anything by halves then nothing will number 9. maidan1 there are two words no one will ever say when they visit the maidan 1 mall set to open in dubai this year i'm bored because you definitely won't be with literally something for everyone it is the perfect way to spend a day or even a week the maidan one maul was the brainchild of maydan a developer based in dubai it's gonna span nearly 1.5 million square meters and will have everything you could ever think of all in one place want to go skiing sure there's an indoor ski slope over half a mile long what about go-karting yup a 4 000 square meter electric go-kart track takes all the boxes any keen swimmers will be catered to as well with crystal lagoon water park and 1 640 square feet of beaches available too there's only one word to describe medan one and it's incredible there's a 1246 foot dancing fountain 580 retail outlets and a civic plaza with room for 30 000 people the best part is this mall in muhammad bin rashad city will be open just in time for the country's first expo number eight dubai creek tower dubai works hard to put itself on the map and they have well and truly done that with the dubai creek tower this hyper tall tower was first announced in 2016 and it was set to be complete this year the plan was for it to be the world's tallest tower and the tallest human-made structure the tower is in the waterfront area in the vicinity of dubai creek near the ross alco national wildlife sanctuary the plan was for it to be three times larger than downtown dubai covering around 2.34 square miles up until the dubai creek tower's completion the exact height was kept a secret this was so no other competitive projects could make their building higher to nab the title but what was mentioned was that it would stand at between 3044 feet and 4593 feet which is of course enormous in saying that the tower would not get the title anyway any tall building needs to be 50 habitable but only 30 percent of the tower is it would be supported by cables on anchors on both sides and would be several feet higher than burj khalifa which used to have the title of one of the world's largest towers number 7 marsa al arab dubai is a pretty impressive tourist sector and that's not by accident if you create something that's worth visiting then visitors will come that's likely to be right in the case of the marsa al arab project by dubai holding the project which would support expo 2020 would incorporate two new islands on either side of the burj al arab hotel it would also span about four million square feet the goal of the project was to support tourism and create job opportunities and this project would definitely do both there would be luxury villas a private marina a beach hotels theaters a business district retail space and more the current wild wadi water park would even be moved to assist with tourist numbers one of the islands would focus on family friendliness making it an ideal destination for mom dad and the kids the other island would have luxury villas and a marina making it more of a hot spot for the elite business people of the world once it's finished marsa al arab is gonna be a must-visit tourist destination as if the rest of dubai wasn't already worth visiting number six dubai frame if you wanted to see the past and present in a city you'd typically have to visit a museum or look in a history book but dubai does things a little differently they incorporate the old and new parts of their city with a unique structure called the dubai frame as the name suggests it's a giant frame that acts as a metaphorical bridge that connects dubai's past with its present from the north you'll catch a glimpse of the old historic neighborhoods of the city but when you look south all you see is glitz glamour and skyscrapers that offer a more futuristic appeal the style of the frame is impressive but the construction process is as well it features reinforced concrete with aluminum steel and glass and it's not all for show it acts as an observation tower with bird's eye views from 493 feet in the air if you've been looking for the perfect place to take your date that screams romance the do by frame is it after all nothing spells romance like panoramic vistas of a sprawling city number five almaktum international airport airports can be frustratingly large it's always when you're late for your flight do you find that your gate is at the opposite end of the terminal or worse in another building still there's something quite amazing about large airports they have a certain authority and glamour about them well at least the almaktum international airport in dubai does this airport was built south of the city in a fast-growing area of what has been dubbed the new dubai the airport is so large that it's basically a city on its own it has also become one of the largest if not the largest global gateway every year 160 million passengers will make their way through it cargo operations for the airport were underway in the new airport in 2010 but the passenger terminals opened three years later around 12 million tons of cargo is moved through it every year and it consists of six clustered zones these zones are so large that they have city in their names such as residential city commercial city gulf city and aviation city number four pearl of dubai this year swimmers and snorkelers will be rejoicing for pearl of dubai will finally be finished what is pearl of dubai you ask well it's easier to ask what it isn't created by reef worlds it is a 5 acre dive and snorkel lost world off dubai's coast if you've ever dreamed about snorkeling through a lost world then this is as close as you're gonna get there are artificial reef sculptures a main temple which acts as a training area for divers and cast iron bronze elements there's even a snorkel reef with artificial reef habitat doesn't get much more real than this what's also quite special about pearl of dubai is how the artificial reef has two purposes it's for tourists who want to go diving but also for marine life coral reefs which are in decline can act as a home for marine life and as a food resource get up close and personal with marine creatures and dive into the dark depths of the ocean in what looks like a genuine abandoned city this underwater theme park is out of this world number three taj arabia everyone has heard of the taj mahal which is a marble mausoleum in the indian city of agra built in 1632 but what about the taj arabia it sounds like some long forgotten ancient structure but it's anything but it's a new project in dubai that gets its inspiration from the taj mahal when you see the building you immediately think of kings royalty and grandeur the building is positioned on land that is built up by 250 000 square meters it's not only a standout tourist attraction but a functional space for people to use it has freehold two and three bedroom apartments sky palaces and function areas for hire you can hold celebrations dine in style and soak up the astounding surroundings that scream relaxation you also don't have to walk too far before coming face to face with lush greenery water fountains and cascading streams such is its beauty that it has even featured in the great indian wedding book and was once listed as one of the 10 most incredible future projects in dubai every bit as regal as you would expect the taj arabia is definitely one of the most amazing projects in dubai number two the palm islands we'll give you two guesses why the palm islands are given the name of the palm islands and you're bound to get the right answer straight away they are in the shape of a palm tree [Applause] the palm islands consist of three human-made islands on the coast of dubai there's the palm jabel ali dara islands and palm jumeirah these three islands are considered one of the most ambitious engineering projects yet as of 2019 only palm jumeirah has been finished and it has a palm tree shape topped with a crescent it's over three miles long into the arabian gulf the other two islands may never be complete due to the 2008 financial crisis now obviously islands don't just end up in the shape of a palm tree naturally they are most certainly human-made millions of tons of blasted rock were sourced from the hajjar mountains to form the islands hundreds of millions of cubic tons of sand were also taken from the sea floor to form the archipelagos now for the exciting part palm jumeirah took six years to complete at a cost of about 12 billion dollars it's now home to 1 500 beachfront mansions 6 000 apartments resorts pools restaurants water theme parks and more number one dubai miracle garden looking at dubai
